Until 10 Sep: 2 Solo Shows (AU)

http://www.19karen.com.au/joshua-smith/joshua-smith-new.php

Joshua Smith - Outside Inside:

Adelaide-artist Joshua Smith’s solo show ‘Outside Inside’ was inspired by the roots of subway graffiti art on types of transport in NYC and Paris between the 70s and 80s. With an exciting and off-route concept; all works in Josh’s show are based on photographs of vehicles he has taken which he then paints his original works onto the miniature vehicles on his canvases. Each artwork Josh has created from hand cut stencils which are spray painted onto canvas; one work alone contains a least 16 layers of paint.

Simone Maynard - Fingernails and Fairytales

Simone Maynard is a Melbourne-based artist whose solo show Fingernails and Fairytales brings together elements of her Russian youth and her adult anxieties of life as an artist to create an exhibition full of multi-dimensional, textual and explorative works.

Exhibition continues until Saturday 10th September 2011.

18 Aug: Paper Works (Berlin)

Opening: 18th August 7pm
Hours: 19th - 2nd September 2011, Tue – Sat 12 – 6pm
Location: Circleculture Gallery

Circleculture Gallery is pleased to announce its upcoming group show Paper Works. The exhibition focuses on paper as a medium, its extensive variety and creative potential.

Paper is one of the oldest mediums in visual art and gained its most influence through techniques such as letter pressing and the graphic arts. Within the twentieth century paper’s role as a neutral carrier of paint and text decreased and instead it was the material itself that became of importance. Nowadays, especially amongst Urban Artists, paper has again become a significant medium, from graphic design and illustration, to silkscreen printing and wheat paste cut outs and posters in the streets.

Paper Works will showcase explorations of the medium from Christian Awe, Kelsey Brookes, Jaybo Monk, XOOOOX, Katrin Fridriks, Stefan Strumbel, Anthony Lister, Kevin Earl Taylor, Anton Unai, Marco Grassi, Various & Gould, Aaron Rose and Oskar Rink. Through the presentation of different techniques and concepts this exhibition of paperworks makes one thing sure: paper works.
